"fire!"

"Dry!"

"Boom boom boom!"

When the gunners rotated the turret at the fastest speed to firmly lock the attack target, and then pressed the fire control switch without hesitation, the 88mm and 71-diameter tank guns of the King Tiger tank flashed red and made a loud noise. The sky roared.

After a while, I saw balls of dazzling flames exploding from the devil's forts, bunkers and other firepower points in the distance, and then black smoke rose rapidly.

Most of the devil artillery hiding in these forts, bunkers, and dark bunkers didn't even have time to let out a miserable howl. They were taken away by a wave, and they were either blown to pieces or cut into several pieces by the high-speed shrapnel. Or be shattered by the overpressure shock wave.

Those ghost soldiers who were lucky enough not to be killed because of the poor impact of the shells did not feel uncomfortable at all. The huge sound waves and overpressure shock waves caused severe pain in the eardrums, blood in the body surged, and they broke out in cold sweat.

It has to be said that the main gun of the King Tiger tank is really strong, not only powerful, but also has an extremely high hit accuracy, which can completely outshine all the famous tanks of the current Allied forces.

First of all, the King Tiger tank turret is powered by an L4S hydraulic motor, which can rotate independently of the engine. It takes 60 seconds to turn a circle in low gear, and it can turn in 19 seconds in high gear.

If it is equipped with an engine, it only takes 10 seconds to rotate a circle at the fastest. The turret rotation mechanism of the German King Tiger tank has high precision and smooth operation, and can provide accurate shooting for the main gun.

In addition, the King Tiger tank is also equipped with a monocular TZF9d sighting mirror, and the artillery shooting range is +23 degrees to -15 degrees.

Under these dual functions, the main gun of the King Tiger tank has excellent operation adjustment ability and hit rate.

根据测试,虎王坦克在1000米外可以对2X2.5米的标靶达到100%命中率,1500米外命中率为95%,2000米外围89-97%(命中率与使用炮弹有关)。

在实战中一般不具备长时间“细瞄”的环境,命中率虽说有所下降,但也非常可观:1000米内命中率为95%、1500米外超过80%、2000米外则大幅下降到60-76%。

But now facing these fixed ground targets within two or three kilometers of the devils, as long as the hand does not shake, it can basically be said to hit wherever it is pointed. The hit rate is not 90%, but more than [-]% is no pressure.

Boom boom boom!

The main gun of the King Tiger tank flashed red light one after another. After each dazzling light, it almost meant that a devil's firepower point was directly hit, or even directly destroyed!

Conversely, the King Tiger tank with super protective armor is not something that the Japanese anti-tank guns can penetrate and destroy at a long distance.

So even though the devil artillerymen in various positions were desperate, risking their lives, they fired armor-piercing shells and high-explosive grenades of various calibers one after another, and hit the King Tiger tanks rushing ahead one after another. .

However, its effect is very limited, often you can only see clusters of dazzling flames exploding on the King Tiger tank, and craters of different depths have been smashed out, but none of the King Tiger tanks have been destroyed head-on!

As for those heavy rockets, although they are very powerful, if they hit directly, even if they cannot penetrate the armor of the King Tiger tank, the shock wave generated by the explosion is enough to kill the tank soldiers inside the tank.

But the prerequisite is that they can produce effective output under the dual fire suppression of the Huben Army's ground attack aircraft and heavy artillery units.

"My God, our anti-tank guns are useless!"

"Baga! Why are these damn tanks so powerful?"

"How can we fight like this?"

"Baga! Road! The Death Squad is ready to attack!"

"Quickly, call the air force for support! Now only the Imperial Air Force can deal with these tanks!"

After crazy output for a long time, the ghost soldiers were shocked to find that the steel torrent that was gradually approaching was simply a group of unbeatable Xiaoqiang, but the firepower on their side was constantly being silenced.

The devil commanders at all levels almost collapsed in their hearts, and they all felt a sense of powerlessness. They could only watch helplessly as the Tiger King tanks continued to fire and harvest wildly, and watched the Tiger Army continue to press up.

"The King Tiger tank really deserves its reputation. Its effect is absolutely amazing! It is reported to the frontline troops that they must guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Hurry for success!"

Zheng Tao, the commander of the 19th Division, stood on a small high ground, looking at the Gaojiabao position that was in charge of attacking the heavily guarded Japanese army with a smile on his face, full of pride in his heart.

Dawangzhuang is an important barrier leading to the west of Shijiazhuang City, guarding the road leading to Shijiazhuang. The devils carefully built a defensive fortress here, which is the only way to attack Shijiazhuang.

After a long period of painstaking efforts, the Japanese army used plum blossom-shaped or triangular mother-in-law forts as the backbone, supplemented by skirmishes, traffic trenches, shelters, deer villages, etc. within the village to 300 meters outside the village, forming a multi-level, complete and interconnected complex. And not easy to split the circular defense in depth.

All the houses, doors and windows in the village were demolished, all the trees were cut down, and all the wood was used to build fortifications.

There are hundreds of households in Gaojiabao. After the Japanese army occupied the place, they drove away the common people and turned every house into a fortress.

In addition, Dawangzhuang also has two 1000-meter highlands about 40 meters apart from the east and the west. They are the commanding heights of Dawangzhuang and one of the core positions of the Japanese army's key defense.

Aiming at this kind of solid defensive fortress, the Huben Army has long worked out a set of effective countermeasures, which is to adopt a policy of steady progress, take the offensive tactics of positional warfare as the main method, and use land and air advantages to destroy the defensive fortresses one by one. The military industry, followed by infantry assaults, captured various positions of the defenders.

If facing a mountainous fortress with complex and dangerous terrain, it is too difficult to attack the fortress frontally, then it is necessary to approach the bunker fortifications by means of tunnel operations, and then use flamethrowers and explosives to destroy them, supplemented by aircraft bombing and shelling and many other means of attack.

Although Gaojiabao, which the 19th Division was about to attack, was not as difficult as a mountain fortress, the difficulty of attacking was much higher because of the existence of two small highlands with a height of 30 meters.

But it doesn't matter much, as long as the air supremacy is firmly in the hands of the Huben army, the attacking troops will have enough means to smash the devil's fortifications little by little.

When the tank troops advanced to about 400 meters from the Japanese frontier positions, they gradually stopped, but the gun barrels of the black hole did not cease fire because of this, and continued to bombard the Japanese surface fortifications ahead!

After the follow-up infantry caught up, they began to build defensive positions on the spot, and the engineering troops started to work with vehicles such as excavators and armored minesweepers!

Chapter 1520 Approaching Homework

Although the King Tiger tank is very fierce and has a strong breakthrough ability, the minefields, anti-tank cones, and anti-tank trenches built by the devils are not pure decorations. What's more, the current number of King Tiger tanks is extremely limited, and the number allocated to each division is no more than There are more than ten vehicles in the area.

And don't look at the fact that the devils are being suppressed and beaten, and they seem to have no combat effectiveness, but if they rush forward rashly, they will inevitably be hit by a crazy counterattack by the Japanese army, and the casualties will definitely increase exponentially.

Therefore, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Faced with this kind of fortress system that is difficult to attack, I can only do slow work. Anyway, the Huben army is not short of time now, so there is no need to be reckless.

The best way is to dig the traffic ditch close to the enemy's frontier position, shorten the attack distance, fight against the trench, seize the trench according to the trench, advance according to the trench, and develop the attack along the traffic ditch.

The artillery was ordered to organize firepower and cover the infantry to carry out serial blasting to destroy the enemy's anti-tank trenches, mine arrays, deer villages, barbed wire fences, bunkers and other fortifications.

Carrying out close-in operations under the enemy's intensive firepower not only consumes a lot of energy, but also inevitably leads to casualties.

But the commanders of the Huben Army all know that "more sweat, less blood. If the fortifications are well done, the enemy will be wiped out with fewer casualties." reason.

It has to be said that mechanized operations are fast. After half a day, the attack position was pushed to 200 meters in front of Gaojiabao.

In the following time, the officers and soldiers of the 19th Division continued to dig deep into the fortifications frantically, first digging a horizontal bunker, then digging down into a kneeling bunker, and finally digging into a chest-length vertical bunker.

Everyone communicated with each other and dug a "spider web" on the open ground in front of Gaojiabao.

When the Japanese army discovered that the Huben army did not directly act recklessly, but chose to carry out close-in operations that took time and effort, they frantically carried out sabotage.

During the day, aircraft and artillery were used to fire at the Huben Army positions, and small troops attacked the front of our army under the cover of artillery fire and tanks.

At night, the Japanese army crazily fired flares, burned firewood for lighting, and attacked our army's operation area with firepower or troops, and even dispatched bombers to bomb, in an attempt to sabotage the Huben Army's preparations for attacking the Gaojiabao Fortress.

But it is obvious that all this is in vain. The Huben Army's careful digging of trenches is not because they have no ability to break through, but because they want to win the greatest victory with the least casualties.

The crazy sabotage actions of the Japanese army could only achieve some blocking and harassment effects, and there was no way to stop the approaching operations of the 19th Division. Instead, they paid a series of casualties.

After several days of intense and arduous close-in operations, each regiment dug two trenches.The trench is deep enough to pass the neck, wide enough to pass a stretcher, and the trenches are vertically and horizontally connected.

There are attack openings, command posts, concealed departments, and dressing stations in the trenches. The most advanced trenches extend from below the horizon to 30 meters in front of the Japanese positions in Gaojiabao.

In the early morning of March 3, all preparations were made for the attack on Gaojiabao, but the weather was not good today. There was a thin drizzle in the sky, and the muddy ground became extremely uncomfortable.

However, the arrow has to be launched, and it is absolutely impossible to delay the attack time because of a little rain.

At five o'clock in the morning, the Huben army's artillery fire preparations began. Hundreds of heavy artillery and rocket launchers rumbled like a tsunami, and the earth trembled non-stop.

Swarms of shells smashed into Gaojiabao, knocking the Japanese army's bunkers and fortifications into the sky.The whole village burst into flames, and then everything was engulfed by thick gunpowder smoke.

After the shelling was over, the attacking troops launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese positions under the cover of tanks, and the two small highlands of the Japanese army were naturally the first to bear the brunt.

On these two small highlands, the Japanese army painstakingly built a large number of strong bunkers and dark forts, and even hollowed out the mountains to build tunnels extending in all directions inside.

When the attacking troops of the Huben Army officially launched an attack on these two small highlands, the condescending Japanese defenders launched a frenzied blockade, and one by one the dark firepower points showed their fangs one after another, forming a powerful and dense crossfire network.

Although the devils are very desperate and the fortifications are strong enough, it is a pity that in the face of the Tiger Army army armed to the teeth, this passive defense is simply unstoppable.

Rifles, machine guns, grenades, grenades, explosive kits, blasters, rocket launchers, flamethrowers, tank main guns, "Stalin's Hammer"...

What, the devil wants to rush down and fight for his life?Sorry, in front of the metal storm, flesh and blood can only be a pile of tofu!

What, the devil's burrow is too deep?That's what flamethrowers do!

What, the angle is too tricky to shoot at a blind spot?It doesn't matter if we change our posture!

What, the bunker skin is too thick?Stalin's Hammer is not dealt with once, then two more shots!

Anyway, there is always a weapon and an angle that suits them!

The attacking troops of the Huben Army, which had been fully prepared for battle, quickly smashed one bunker after another on the way forward with a destructive momentum, and wiped out one firepower point after another.

It only took half a day for the two battalions of the 19th Division to conquer the two small highlands of the devils successively, and the other attacking directions also crushed all the way, and rushed into Gaojiabao Village one after another.

The stubborn Japanese defenders tried to use the hundreds of forts and traffic tunnels in the village to start a house-to-house street battle with the Huben army.

However, the Huben army is not a fool, how could it be possible to rush in and rush in, and then suffer serious casualties under the criss-crossing firepower net?

Obviously, facing this kind of urban street fighting terrain, the simplest and most brutal way is to break through walls and houses, pushing and crushing all the way.

At this time, Stalin's hammer, which can directly penetrate the 4-meter-thick concrete layer, just showed its power, and every time it was shot down, no matter how thick the bunker was, it had to be peeled off.

In fact, most of the blockhouses in the village don't need Stalin's Hammer to serve it, or even the King Tiger tank to personally operate the knife. Even the most common No. [-] tank's main gun can cause extremely considerable damage, and even directly penetrate Not surprising either.

Because the Japanese army did not have the financial and material resources to transform every private house into a high-standard reinforced concrete bunker, and many of them were simple fortifications of brick and tile structure.

In addition to the ground attack force, the helicopter brigade soon joined in the fun. Their main task was to suppress the firepower on the commanding heights, provide fire cover and God's perspective for the ground troops.

This time, the battle against the fortifications will be smoother, and there will be no chance for the devils to fight hard!

"Baga! What, what should I do!"

"Can we just passively wait to die like this?"

"Baga, Lu! Die, die!"

Although the Japanese army made up their minds to fight to the end, at this time, they realized that they had no capital to exchange their lives for their lives. This was exactly the rhythm of being pressed on the ground and rubbing against each other!

For these ghost soldiers who have long been determined to die, death is not terrible, what is terrible is the meaningless and worthless unilateral massacre!

Chapter 1521

"Imperial warriors! The time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Kill these hateful Chinese troops!"

Faced with the bullying and crushing attack of the Huben Army, the devil soldiers became more and more desperate, and finally collapsed. Dynamite rushed out with red eyes, desperately.

But the reality is full of ideals, and the only way to meet these ghost soldiers is ruthless killing. They are doomed to die on the way, and they don't even think about rushing to the Huben army who is close at hand.

This extremely fierce general offensive battle lasted from dawn to sunset. After 11 hours of continuous bloody fighting, the officers and soldiers of the 19th Division who carried more than 2000 devils to the end were all killed.

So far, the Gaojiabao Fortress managed by the devils has been completely destroyed, and the west gate of Shijiazhuang has been opened.

The setting sun was like blood, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, I saw that this originally affluent village was completely devoid of vitality, and turned into a smoky and dilapidated ruin, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.

The ground is full of dense bomb craters, and there are piles of charred ruins everywhere. The air is filled with a strong smell of burning and blood.

Houses were blown up to only half of their stone foundations, and there were bloody, mutilated corpses everywhere in the village, a horrific and miserable scene.

"Nice job! This is how battles are fought!"

Although the painting style on the screen is miserable, in Wu Kexiang's eyes, it is extremely beautiful, what a pleasing battlefield masterpiece!

Although the 19th Division of the Huben Army spent 5 full days in the entire Battle of Gaojiabao, only 74 people were killed in battle, and more than 2000 Japanese troops were wiped out.

Although the consumption of weapons and ammunition is an astronomical figure, for the people-oriented and wealthy Chinese Huben Army, these consumptions are completely acceptable.

In addition, Shijiazhuang's other offensive directions will naturally not be idle.

Under the tactical policy of fighting steadily, the attacking troops smashed one solid defensive fortress after another by crushing methods, and occupied a series of villages and towns around Shijiazhuang, completing the ultimate compression of Shijiazhuang.

Now in the battle of Shijiazhuang, only the final city battle is left.

At the same time, the 1st and 2nd Group Armies of the Huben Army, which went north to attack, have not been idle, and have been attacking cities and villages. At present, more than ten towns have been connected.

If the lost land recovered this time is added, the Huben Army has successfully recovered more than 20% of the land area of ​​Hebei Province.

The total strength of the Huben army in Hebei exceeded one million, and the battle line gradually advanced to important towns in Hebei such as Shijiazhuang, Ludong, Wuqiang, Nanpi, and Cangzhou. All constituted extremely serious military pressure.

Although the Japanese North China Front Army also has more than 100 million heavy troops, and more than 50% of them come from the elite field troops of the Kwantung Army.

It is no exaggeration to say that the North China Front Army can be said to have guns and guns. It not only has extremely strong technical equipment, but also built a series of solid defense systems, occupying an extremely favorable defensive advantage.

But from the very beginning, the Japanese North China Front Army was still beaten to the point where they could only parry and had no power to fight back. They could only retreat and defend fortresses one by one, defending towns one by one to resist layer by layer, and fought a war of attrition!

The reason is mainly because the Huben Army has more advanced and stronger technical equipment, which has formed a crushing advantage over the Japanese army.

If the two sides engage in a land-air three-dimensional decisive battle in the wild, it will definitely be as relaxed and happy as a grandpa beating a grandson.

After a series of head-on encounters and suffering big losses, the little devils had no choice but to give up.

But this is of no use. At best, it will make the Huben Army spend more effort and consume more weapons and equipment.

Anyway, Yang Fan is not eager for success. As long as he can continuously weaken the Japanese army and strengthen himself in the process, he will be able to accumulate small victories into big victories, and finally win this protracted world war little by little!
